Vans Old Skool 36 Trainers - Blue - Plaid - UK 8

No, because they contain wool and delicate jewelry-inspired embellishments, you should not machine wash these trainers.

While based on a classic skate silhouette, the jewelry elements and tweed material are meant for lifestyle use and could be damaged by aggressive skating.

Wool can have a slight natural give, but the trainers should fit comfortably from the first wear. Stick to your standard UK shoe size.

The Style 36 is the original precursor to the modern Old Skool, featuring a slightly shorter toe cap and cleaner, sharper lines for a retro look.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the sides of the vintage-effect rubber sole, being careful to avoid contact with the wool upper.

Check the back of the hardware periodically to ensure attachments are secure; avoid snagging the embellishments on rough fabrics.

Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove surface debris without damaging the tweed weave.
